irish rose

Nothing new, I think, just all chains and lock joins in between. But petals are tatted with treble tatting stitches and it looks 'a new thing'!

Here are my attempts to tat something lovely around the rose.

The back side is interesting, too:

LEGEND
ds : double tatting stitch
tds : treble tatting stitch
R : ring
Ch: chain
- : picot
vsp : very small picot
SR : Split Ring
FR : floating ring
LJ : lock join
CTM : continuous thread method

Basic pattern for the Irish rose:
With one shuttle and the ball CTM or 2 shuttles CTM.

Round1) The rose starts with a ring: 7 very small picots separated by 1ds, close ring. Reverse work.
Always use a mock picot to climb up to next round.
From now on, it is only chains.
Round2) Ch 1ds; LJ to next vsp (let always a vsp over the LJ); repeat 7 more times.
Round3) Ch 1ds,1tds,vsp,1ds; LJ to next vsp (let always lie the current chain under the previous round); repeat 7 more times.
Round4) Ch 1ds,2tds,vsp,1ds; LJ to next vsp; repeat 7 more times.
Round5) equal to Round4
Round6) equal to Round4
Round7) Ch 1ds,3tds,vsp,1ds; LJ to next vsp; repeat 7 more times.
Round8) Ch 1ds,5tds,vsp,1ds; LJ to next vsp; repeat 7 more times.

The rose can be beautified around as per your personal taste. I think that many different patterns can be found, just keeping the rose in the center. I tatted two versions.

The ecrù rose was tatted with dmc cordonnet size 20 thread.
From round 1 to 8, it is the basic pattern. Then:
Round9) Ch 6ds-6ds; LJ to next vsp; repeat 7 more times.
Round10) Ch 5ds-5ds-5ds; LJ to next vsp; repeat 7 more times.
Round11) Ch 7ds-7ds; LJ to next vsp; 1ds,3tds,vsp,1ds; LJ to next vsp. Repeat all around.

The orange&white rose was tatted with dmc special dentelles size 80 thread.
From round 1 to 6, it is the basic pattern. Then (I added one more round than the basic pattern):
Round7bis) equal to Round4
Round8bis) equal to Round7
Round9bis) equal to Round8
Round10bis) Split ring (to climb up to next round): 6ds/6ds;
*Chain: 6ds-2ds; Trefoil [FR 2ds-3ds-3ds-3ds; FR 3ds, join to last picot of previous FR, 3ds-3ds-3ds; FR 3ds, join to last picot of previous FR, 3ds-3ds-2ds]; Chain: 2ds, join to last picot of previous FR, 6ds.
Ring: 6ds, join to next vsp of previous round, 6ds
Repeat from * all around.
